At 1AM

  • Gavin: I'm ready to go to co-op!
  • Kelly and Duff: Are you fully dressed and ready for the day already?
  • Gavin: Yup!
  • Kelly and Duff: Do you know what time it is?
  • Gavin: Well... I know it's light outside!
  • Kelly and Duff: Gavin, it's 1:00 in the morning. Perhaps you're seeing the streetlights. Good night!

  • Duff: Gavin, can you throw this thing in the garbage for me?
  • Gavin, hesitating: Ummm..... I don't think so. That thing is gross.
  • Madeline: Gavin - Uncle Eric would probably eat that thing. Just throw it away.

  • Gavin: Dad just colored part of his picture pink and purple. I think Dad could be a girl.
  • Luke: I like pink because it's pretty.
  • Gavin: Luke, did you know that Uncle Eric likes flowers? Hahaha!
  • Madeline: He does like them, but in a manly way. He likes to eat them.

Laundry Time

  • Kelly: You can't fold a shirt like that. That's not folding.
  • Duff: This is *my* shirt. I can fold it anyway I'd like... I'm wondering if I'm qualified to fold this wash cloth.
  • Kelly: You can fold that. You and Luke are at about the same level. You two can fold the wash cloths.

  • Kelly: Luke and Keagan, I'm going to read this book to Maddie and Gavin. You can listen too, or you can do something quietly.
  • Luke: OK. Keagan, let's make a really quiet band.
  • Kelly: Luke, bands aren't quiet.

After watching Star Wars

  • Luke: I'm going to kill you with this light saber.
  • Gavin: No you're not!
  • Duff: Guys, that's enough death talk. Time to change your lingo.
  • Gavin: What could we say instead?
  • Duff: How about, "I'm planning on injuring you with my light saber."
  • A few minutes later
  • Luke: Gavin, I'm going to injure you to death!
  • Duff: Enough. Light sabers away. :)
